"Nerones, exaudi orationem meam; mihi virtutem influendi excursus fac voluntatem meam ut cordis maneo, certa clara mihi propositum!"
Christian said; his voice echoing loudly over the arena; followed by the sound of a tree splitting in two, a bright light soon dissipating as it released its energy into the wood.
"Wow..." Christian brough out before noticing how pillars of water began to rise from the river; six in total; their highest point flailing about untill three of them found Ruby, Hanzo and Adebowale. The pillars came down on top of them; bringing with foliage from the river and small fishes. The streams of water left by the pillars increased their currents; grabbing the students their anckles and dragging them towards the source. Sissing and hissing erupted from Ruby, echoing omthrough the woods. The Guardian, controlled by Adebowale began to shimmer and dull in intensity; soon disappearing as Adebowale himself ran out of mana and was mercilessly dragged towards the open river.
Then, the unsuspected happened; a spike made of earth errupted from under Christian, and pushed him into the air; his arms flailing as his flight path described a almost perfect arch. Before he would land on the harsh, rocky grpund; he managed to chant a last incantation, before feeling how his mana reserves were close to being depleted.
"Nerones, dona mihi praesidium"
And right at that moment, a wave of water rushed underneath him, absorbing his fall.
Meanwhile, his previously cast spell was causing havoc to ensue; the three most promising students were being pulled into the river; the water's current to strong to crawl out. The other remaining students were simply being plucked from the land, pulled into the river and kept down. Christian looked at it; smiling a smile that seemed genuin and rather happy.
He had made sure to bring out tactical thinking, observation, appreciation and guts, along with the correct usage of magic, in all of the first-year students that attended his exam. And he felt happy; happy that atleast three of the students excelled in everything.
Right at the moment that Ruby, Hanzo and Adebowale were being pulled into the river, he stopped the spell; causing remaining pillars to fall down and currents to shift; causing the students to raise towards the water's surface.
Christian then decided it was time to walk down towards them; showing himself without tricks or surprises, to the students.
As he arrived in front of them; panting slightly and chuckling as he looked at them, he spoke;
"Congratulations, students! All of you have made it into the Academy. Ranking of your combat skills will be done soon. Extra points for courage or impressing me, will be taken into said ranking. But for now, lets go out to the Academy, and show the other's the school's newest additions!" He then flexed; his big biceps showing; true evidence of his dedication to his task as Disciplinary Committee Captain. The sides of his chest were sticking out from uder his sleeveless hoody; the visible part being all that comes after the nipple, outwards. A thin layer of black stubble covered his chest; showing his maturity. His jaw was flexed; further enhancing his bright white smile, which in turn made his stubble-covered jawline look divine. His blue eyes had joined his mouth in the genuin smile; a playfull - perhaps even flirty - shimmering visible in those blue portals that lead to his soul.
Now, looking at the students as they reacted to the exam's result, he thought; 'I need a drink... a strong one, preferably...'
